James Shields (Seller of townhome in Pinecrest)

I understand the nature of the depressed market in Miami.  This depression allows [other] listing realtors to list properties with claims and promises of "top dollar" sales prices.

When the ink dried on the listing agreement, [my prior] listing realtor invariably started finding things "wrong" with the property and pressured me for massive price reductions based solely on low-ball offers from persons connected to the real estate industry.

I received none of this abuse from you. Thanks!

(Hal's Note:  This is why I always tell it straight from the beginning.  Pricing wrong leads to frustration.  It also lowers the Realtor's credibility when they have to beg to reduce the price.  This townhouse sold within 14 days of listing with no price reductions and at a price slightly higher than estimated.)

Hal, we were very happy with you and with the final outcome of all this. I know a lot of things were out of our/your (anyone's) control so aside from the whole timeline of things, and the craziness once we finally got to closing, it was a great experience. Would definitely recommend you to our family and friends.

Mitchell Holder (Thornton, Davis & Fein, P.A.)

I switched Realtors mid way through looking for my first home when I met Hal at one of his listings. It was one of the best decisions I made throughout this process. Hal worked very hard, showed me many properties until we found one that worked for me and always went above and beyond and was happy to do so. I am fortunate that I met a Realtor with such dedication, commitment and attention to detail. I feel that I have a Realtor for life and I will use Hal for all my real estate needs in the future.

You are a true professional and a very understanding person. I realize how frustrated you could have become during the Herrera closing because of our server crashing causing your closing not to go as planned and as smooth as we all would of liked. Instead, you were patient and understanding, wish more clients were like you.  So, thank you Hal.

(Hal's Note: comments provided after a server crash delayed and mucked up a close for three days.  This company rocked putting things back together, by the way.)
